great. thanks. \:\)

i really pulled the trigger to early on the receiver. didnt get enough obsessive research done on it. the 3808CI is clearly the right AVR for me and my needs. at only $300 more it seems like a no brainer.

only issue is i have a new still in factory sealed box 2808CI that is way outside the 30 day return. a minor hassel to either eBay it or sell it locally i guess?
